A customer dropped off a Zonda front wheel with me.


A mama-chari (utility bicycle) hit it from the side
and broke a spoke.



All fixed.


↑The replaced spoke


Zonda and Bora wheels with radial lacing have
a flattened section on the aero spokes to prevent rotation,
but when one spoke broke and the tension on the surrounding spokes was released,
some spokes ended up pointing at an angle.
Usually when replacing just one spoke,
you can straighten things out most of the time by adjusting just that spoke's nipple,
but whether from the impact of the accident or wear over time,
truing the wheel—adjusting nipples in other areas—ended up taking more time.
